ABSTRACT
Many comments passed in a country upon the Liberian authorities then responsible have gone so far as to suggest that Liberia, owing to the charges made by the Christy Commission and others, should be deprived of membership of and reliance upon the League of Nations. It is therefore incumbent upon countries which form part of the British Empire to show that they neither impose nor tolerate practices of the nature of those which came to light in Liberia several years ago. The dip-tank supervisor worked his Unpaid Forced Labour scheme by means of African dip-attendants, through whose hands those dipping cards passed, on which the numbers of the various African owners’ cattle were entered. Each card-owner might be warned to complete a strip of road, about fifty yards in length. Some unfortunate Africans, who pay tax at Buhera, but are not very far from its boundaries, have been included in the Charter Road-making and Dip Supervision Area.
